I should have known they’d f@^% it up. When I got to the comic shop today, I was met with a surprising bit of news regarding Civil War. Apparently, someone at Marvel wants to get fired. Apparently, Steve McNiven can’t draw nearly as quickly as a comic artist should be able to. And apparently, Marvel…
I always thought that Booster Gold was a character with a great deal of potential. We’ve seen glimpses of it throughout the years. During the fight with Doomsday, he was one of the first to step up toe-to-toe with the monster (he was also one of the first to be clobbered into the stratosphere). Harbinger…
In a nutshell: Booster’s back, and he hates Supernova. They fight, and Booster goes boom thanks to a nuclear sub exploding high above Metropolis (yes, that actually makes sense). Renee and The Question break out of prison. Next week, Adam and Isis make it official. It’s been weeks since we’ve seen Booster Gold in 52….
For years, first X-Man Cyclops had been regarded as an orphan, entrusted to the care of Charles Xavier and never really having had a home. That is, until Uncanny X-Men #54 (then just called X-Men), where his long-lost brother Alex was revealed! And Alex was a mutant! We of course know him now as Havok,…
Here is disgraced Texas representative Tom DeLay. Aside from your knowledge of Tom DeLay, does he seem familiar? What about if I do this?
“52” has fast become one of my favorite pleasures of every Wednesday. This week’s no different, save for some small complaints I have with the cover of the issue. Simply put, the cover doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Take a quick look at it. It’s got a sweet picture of Steel holding the…
This has already been making some rounds, but over at Random Panels, comic blogger Brandon Random has found an odd panel from Detective Comics #87 and invited fellow comic bloggers to create their own alternate versions, replacing “umbrella” with whatever their imaginations come up with. The original: The ready-to-be-customized blank template: My favorite version so…
This will go down as probably The Television Moment That Made Me Laugh The Hardest Ever. The State was a brilliant show that has spawned many not-as-brilliant, but still funny in their own way, spinoffs since its demise back in the mid 90s. I still long for the day that the show finds its way…
Ten years ago, Onslaught tore the Marvel Universe in two. Kind of literally. After Onslaught, there was the main Marvel universe and a separate but strangely similar universe where the Avengers and Fantastic Four lived. Sort of like the Ultimate Universe without Spider-Man, the X-Men, or good stories. I was 14 at the time, and…
So I’ve decided to make the most of my Netflix account by finally adding the most excellent “Batman: the Animated Series” to my queue. And yes, the infinite praises of this show have been sung elsewhere, but I’m sure we’ll post our own thoughts on it in the Hall of Doom someday. Anyway, I’m watching…
